Well, that'll be interesting if she actually does become Australian of the Year. Most AotYs have been highly visible and tireless advocates for their cause after they are awarded that title. Haven't really heard a lot from Katherine that hasn't just been about her own transition... and not much else on other trans issues. Anyway, congrats to her I hope she gets it and goes on to be a great spokesperson for trans issues, treatment and rights in Australia.
